# Toggle Dark Mode

![Run Toggle Dark Mode in Command Bar](/files/ihkzuuNpnBMXhqiTdaGJ)

This is an example that will only work on macOS because it uses AppleScript. It's an example of a command that doesn't return a response: it just does its thing and exits.

When the command is run, it will toggle the dark mode system preference setting.

Paste the following code in a new file with a `.applescript` extension and then [create a Local Command](/command-bar-101/local-commands.md#create-local-command) to try it out in Slapdash.

```javascript
tell application "System Events"
  tell appearance preferences
    set dark mode to not dark mode
  end tell
end tell
```
